OPINION: "Our young people still enlist hoping for opportunity: job training, education and a way out. But too often, they are met with trauma, discrimination and broken promises," Horace Small writes.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Why the NYT didn't report on their Epstein info is tangled up with another question: was Epstein a friend of the Sulzberger family? Epstein claims he first befriended NYT publisher "Punch" Sulzberger in the 1970s, when Sulzberger's daughter (age ~12) was at the prep school where Epstein taught. 1/

Leia Organa loved him. She loved the Hutt, even though she was his prisioner. She loved his eyes, “big as apples.” She loved that “the sight of something as trivial as the Sarlacc” could move him to tears. She loved his insatiable appetites and his “particular complications and particular darkness.”

this is the kind of shit where you'll suddenly hear a loud noise and hear a dad say "and that's the end of that!", walk in, and see the screen deftly dispatched with a hammer

Fetterman didn't become a nazi because of his brain injury. He received a traumatic brain injury, which reduced the fitness of his brain, what with the traumatic brain injury. He's been in DENIAL that his faculties are impaired. LASHING OUT AT OTHERS TO PRESERVE YOUR SELF DELUSIONS TURNS YOU FASCIST

I wore purple lipstick once when I was a teenager and the lads were like “look at Rihanna over there”

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

I am calling upon the people of Ireland to immediately begin construction of a thread on this site about how you or someone you know was roasted for a fashion choice. We need it. All roasts must have come from Irish people *only*. Please respect this important rule, it makes a difference. Tanks

MEDIOCRE JOURNO: (bad take) TWITTER REPLIES: you seem jewish, it'd be a shame if you were attacked, here's your home address BLUESKY REPLIES: you're helping fascists. you're in the wrong vocation b/c you're objectively awful at this MEDIOCRE JOURNO: (sobbing) bluesky is so much worse than twitter

i’m 95% sure those little cartoons are AI-generated which makes this darkly funny (why do the fists have inconsistent fingers? there’s 3 forefingers & a wrapped thumb in the left panels vs 4 forefingers w/ no wrapped thumb in the right panels. & where does everyone’s sleeves keep going?)

This sounds reasonable but is 100% wrong. Whether you or agree or disagree with a study is completely immaterial. What matters is whether the study was conducted properly and generates valid results. And it's impolitic to say but it's true: you have to have some level of expertise to judge that.

Women of Taco Bell deserve to be recognized

Hi friends I have absolutely no dollars and need foods and weeds, so I can eat the foods (I have gastroparesis) I hate asking especially with everyone struggling, but I’m desperate 💜 $LaurenMcKenziest ca,v,pp -thank you so so much.

Does everyone remember Adriana Smith, the Georgia nurse who was declared brain dead while nine weeks pregnant? The black woman who was kept alive without the consent of her family because of the fetus? Baby “Chance” was born in June. He’s still in the NICU.

I know no one asked but it's a large gfm and it matters. Essentially all of my money was wiped out at once with zero warning and to make it worse im between work. It's been a nightmare but you all have given me hope 🖤🖤🖤

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

do you ever just start singing the andy milonakis show theme song to yourself or am i just stuck in 2005

Today is the 60th(!) anniversary of the first public report on the dangers of fossil fuel pollution. What happened? A whole lot of fossil fuel bullsh*t and corruption in service of a whole lot of nothing. All while pollution and warming escalated far beyond what scientist predicted in 1965.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

PSA: don’t drop an iphone 14 on your face, it WILL break something sincerely, bleeding mouth

Chicago: ICE heavily active in West Ridge and Edgewater. Landscapers heavily targeted. Put on your whistles and patrol if you can.

American friend, her husband active US military based in Australia now. Getting no pay, expected to work & if he takes ANY time its a mark on his record, grounds for dismissal. They had an email telling them to ask Aust. landlords for delay paying rent, Aussie’s flabbergasted at the treatment.

I'm sorry I don't have another word for this. This shit is so fucking stupid. Like listen imperialism and so on but like what the fuck? What sense does this make at all? Cruelty to your own soldiers? I need someone to explain the fascism to me cause I do not understand this.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown. The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Please repost this and donate if you can, I really need to figure out how we are going to pay rent tomorrow so that we don’t start getting late fees..we need groceries and formula..a can of my son’s formula is $42 and I need to get refill for my psych meds. We are so fucked right now 😞 #assistance

my entire check can’t cover our rent that’s 4 days late. Either I don’t pay rent and we have money to pay other bills and survive but no place to live..or I somehow get $300 so we have a home but no food, power, or car to go to work.. I have two babies, how do I just not give up? #mutualaid #help

my work did one of those pet costume contest things and someone submitted an excruciatingly obvious AI-generated dog. when i politely asked if it was real (knowing the answer), they dug their heels in lmao why are people so WEIRD

Checking in on Rudy Giuliani, I see he's having an insane one

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

It’s disheartening to see Teen Vogue dissolved into Vogue and its political team let go. For years, it was one of the few mainstream spaces that made room for honest, radical commentary on justice, inequality & the world we actually live in. I’m grateful it gave me a home for so many of my op-eds

Well shoot me in the face on a hunting trip- Dick Cheney died

we put together a megathread of onion articles on one of americas favorite now dead war criminals, some real gems in here

It’s truly tragic how many of these US war criminals like Cheney never face justice and die in their peacefully in their homes in their 80s and 90s. I want to be happy he is dead but I am not. The million people he killed didnt get the luxury to die how he did.

This is my wife’s favorite person in the world, and I can’t wait to meet her. If you can help, it would mean the world to us 💜
